Basically Simple Mail is a Firefox extension that is a email client, It even post a small envelope on the bottom right hand corner of screen and tells you if you have mail.
left click opens the messages, right click you configure the settings, how simple, it works on yahoo, hotmail, gmail. etc

Thanks, ttuuxxx. Do you plan to add these to BigBass' barebone 3.01 to create a small usable puplet?

If i don't I know someone will:) but thinking about it probably, I do wish someone would compile skipstone with firefox, That would be ideal, I could rip apart about 70% of firefox and have 1 really fast and small puppy. Anyway i just uploaded fatfree 3.01 and have to set up the links. ttuuxx_________________http://audio.online-convert.com/ <-- excellent site

Simple Mail is really great. It does everything that a lightweight email client can.

Including composing offline mail & view headers.
Let's not forget about safe browsing with NoScript

And Fast browsing by blocking all those ads with AdBlock Plus

And then there's Gmail which has the mail
out on a Google server somewhere - so it's
available from anywhere.

Simple mail is a client handler, not a provider like Gmail, yahoo etc. its basically a handler of your main accounts, for your email providers like Gmail ,yahoo , Hotmail etc. similar to outlook express on windows.

I was just looking at Simple Mail and it can import but not export
to seamonkey or Thunderbird.
I really don't see why this would be an issue anyway. Almost every email
client that I have ever used (including Simple Mail) has a switch so it doesn't
delete mail from the server after downloading them.

G'day again,
Thanks for your answers to my query about sharing a mail directory/folder between Puppy & Windows.
My situation is I have a large archive of e-mail dating back almost to Netscape 4, well, definitely to Mozilla <1.0, that on occasion I need to search.
So I prefer a mail program that will use this existing data base as is, as well as add new e-mails.
I always favoured the suite approach (Seamonkey) to the splitting up concept (Firefox, Thunderbird, Nuv, etc) for simplicity and lack of bloat so have been very happy to see Seamonkey in Puppy. Pity about Dingo.
I'll have a look at the Firefox add-on as you say it will import Seamonkey/Thunderbird mails so perhaps it will be able to use the same directory as its working directory too.

There is an option to set the saved mail directory in simple mail so perhaps that would help with cross platform usage and though I've never done it firefox should be able to share profiles in the same way as thunderbird ie setting up profiles.ini.

I was a little disappointed that simple mail does not work in firefox 1.5 series as I find the 2 series a bit bloaty particularily for puppy usage but the overall space saving would be worth it....I prefer firefox / thunderbird to seamonkey but found the excessive duplication of code a bit iffy.

I find simple mail better than the built in mail client of opera and it does support basic html mail composition which I'm sure will expand as the extension develops....there is a way of including an extension within a firefox install without having to include a profile folder.

As for using this mail/browser combination in puppy then I consider it a good idea,
